💪🌊 The Original Commercial Divers ⚒️🏛️
Long before modern helmets and hot water suits, ancient engineers were already taking the plunge — building harbors, laying stone, and mastering underwater construction with nothing but raw muscle, bronze, and some serious nerve.
This painting reminds us that while the gear has changed, the spirit of the dive hasn’t. Commercial diving is, and always has been, about grit, precision, and pushing limits beneath the surface.
Respect to the legends who paved the way — underwater and unsung. 🌊🛠️

New episode link in bio! A remarkable exclusive and first hand account of the recovery and salvage of the Potomac DC AA flight 5342 plane crash and the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. A true account of when regular commercial divers have to do the tough job of body recovery and salvage after tragic events in the water. This is a very important episode for divers to listen to before working a disaster in which loss of life occurs. It was very courageous of Glenn O’Connell to have a tough conversation with us in the hopes of helping other divers who find themselves in similar situations. It also highlights the often thankless tasks that commercial divers sometimes perform that are relatively unknown to the public. Please share this episode with everyone that you know.
